I would make calls to plumbers, electricians, AC folk or just handyman types and even the return call rate was less than 10%. The primary reason I ended up in ad FC stastic was because I'd have a tennant ready to move in, but couldn't get the place ready for move in in time. Who ever stated that it was hard to get workers in AZ is speaking gospel. I've learned to build a network of workers who are thinking long term. Once they think of me as a potential long term, repeat customer they provide better service (heck, they provide service period).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800674.post-1133558127155332132005-12-02T14:15:00.000-07:002005-12-02T14:15:00.000-07:00I have to agree that NJ is seeing a jump in forecl...I have to agree that NJ is seeing a jump in foreclosures.

First they outlaw cash-for-deed deals, and now the essentially outlaw L/O's. Smart investors can work around those using other strategies, but I wonder how many investors who used these techniques solely in the past have stopped buying now?
